Movie Reviews of Jesse James
Movie Review: Very Good Classic Western
Summary: 4 Stars
This 70-year old Western classic has a strong cast featuring great acting by Henry Fonda and Tyrone Power as the James brothers. The movie is quite entertaining particularly considering its age. It is slightly marred however by some annoying overacting by Nancy Kelly as the forever babbling, sobbing Zee and publisher Major Cobb played by Henry Hull with his corny, repetitious "Roy, take an editorial.." routine, put in to add some humor to the tale I guess. Fortunately, the strong opening sequences showing evil, ruthless railroad men pressuring helpless farmers like the James family to sell their land because they were standing in the way of progress support strong movie themes of sympathy and revenge that have you going along with Frank and Jessie to the end.Movie Review: Jesse James According to Hollywood
Summary: 4 Stars
The film Jesse James is a superb Hollywood story of the folklore view of Jesse James. The transfer to DVD is sadly lacking in many respects. Colors are not enhanced, it is too dark in many spots, and the images are doubled in some instances. My VHS copy is better than the DVD. But this movie still remains the best of the Jesse James movies, simply due to such fine actors as Tyrone Power and Henry Fonda. Randolph Scott and Henry Hull have excellent, scene-stealing support roles.Movie Review: Amazon: Bring back movie ratings!

For some inexplicable reason, Amazon has removed the rate movie feature from the main product page. One must now write a review in order to rate a movie and generate recommendations. This is not a review, but merely a means to allow me to rate this movie and improve my recommendations. If you are as annoyed by this new "feature" as I am, please register your protest w/ Amazon help.Movie Review: Jesse revisited
Summary: 4 Stars
Jesse James was both outlaw and idol. He reacted in a way many would have liked to when wronged. Many have played the role of Jesse James, this classic remains one of the best. It is a must for any historical/western collector. With Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda and Randolph Scott playing the key characters you are in for a real treat in a movie you will watch over and over.Movie Review: Poor color dvd transfer
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like this film and it's sequel "The Return Of Frank James". I decided to upgrade from vhs to dvd for both titles. I was very disappointed to find that the dvd edition has very poor color. There's an overall dark tone and bluish cast to "Jesse James". On the other hand, "The Return Of Frank James" has great color. I tried these dvd's on 3 players just to be sure that my player or tv weren't out-of-balance. If you love the wonderful Technicolor films of this period, stick to the vhs edition of "Jesse James" or be prepared to turn your color button up as high as it will go to enjoy the dvd version. One would expect more from a major studio like Fox.
